Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Does the SpitzLift crane meet any safety standards?

A. Yes, the SpitzLift meets ASME, OSHA, DEFSTAN, CE and AS safety standards. 

Q. Do all SpitzLifts come with a mount?
A. We offer a complete solution which includes everything needed to mount to a 2” receiver. However, because there are more than 13 mounting options and many different applications for the SpitzLift, the mount is generally purchased separately.
Q. Does the SpitzLift come preassembled?
A. Yes, the SpitzLift comes assembled in the box.
Q. Does the Surface Mount Kit base take up the hauling room in my pickup truck bed?
A. No, the Surface Mount Kit lays flat in your pickup bed when not in use allowing you to haul at full capacity.
Q. Can I purchase more than one mounting base and use the same Spitzlift in all of them?
A. Yes, the Spitzlift is designed so you can outfit a fleet of vehicles with bases and purchase only one lift.
Q. If I let go of the handle while lifting a heavy object, will the object I’m lifting fall to the ground?
A. No, the safety disk brake on the manual hoist allows you to take your hands off the handle. Your load will not fall.
Q. Must the SpitzLift be used on a vehicle only?
A. No, the SpitzLift modular cart and our mounting brackets can be used almost anywhere (i.e., from a workbench, platform to a semi-tractor trailer).
Q. What material is the SpitzLift crane and mounts made of?
A. The crane is made from anodized, structural, aircraft grade, aluminum. The mounts are made from powder coated steel.
Q. Can I order replacement parts for my SpitzLift?
A. Yes, just give us a call at (619) 713-5061.

Q. Does the SpitzLift come with a warranty?
A. Yes. All SpitzLift products, except for the hoists, are warranted for three years against defects and workmanship. DC and AC hoist motors are warranted for one year. Manual hoist is warranted for 3 years. The straps are warranted for one year. Warranty does not apply to cable or synthetic rope.
Q. Can I return my SpitzLift?
A. Yes, within 30 days of original purchase but the SpitzLift must be in its original packaging and in resalable condition. Please call first to get a manufacturer’s RMA number (Return Merchandise Authorization), (619) 713-5061.

Testimonials

“SpitzLift can offer customers the right crane for the job while saving weight, space, and money. We are excited to further promote SpitzLift and recognize the value it adds to our products.”

- Bo Knapheide

President , The Knapheide Manufacturing Company

“I am always given prompt service. You folks are great and will be my crane supplier as long as I am building service body pickups for my company.”

- John Swoope,

Northwestern Energy

“Our service technicians have to change out batteries in the field that can weigh up to 90 lbs and your lift has given us a way to do that and still provide a safe work environment for our employees.”

- Mary

EZ Go

“I first became interested in the SpitzLift as a possible solution to a safety problem that we had at BNSF – lifting heavy electrical generators during emergency power outages. I purchased lifts for all of my employees, and the device began to catch the notice of people throughout BNSF and has become a standard appliance on many of our vehicles. We now use it in numerous applications to prevent the risk of injury to our employees.”

- Signal Manager

BNSF

“The advantages for using SpitzLift cranes are a variety of attachments, very easy to break down and disassemble by one person alone, and also they eliminate the need for sending two people for a task which now requires only one person.”

- Foreman

General Mechanical Maintenance, Union Pacific Rail Road

“Many commercial fleets look to fleet management companies to bring new ideas and offerings to them, both from a cost savings suggestion to a value added solution. SpitzLift is an option that should be considered when speccing out a crane or lift requirement.”

- Rob J.

Manager, National Truck Sales

“I immediately realized the great potential (SpitzLift) cranes have in both our fleet environment and our construction department… The field personnel started to find different usages for the SpitzLift cranes both on the fleet vehicles, as well as the day to day tasks… using SpitzLift cranes in the Otis work environment – our entire field operations… “

Phil S.
Fleet Manager, North America OTIS Service Center

“We have notified our insurance carriers so that they know we’re providing a safer environment for our mechanics. By using your lift, it will prevent injuries to our employees, which is the main goal.”

Dennis E.
Director of Fleet Management

“…relocating equipment on a weekly basis was cumbersome and put technicians at risk of injury. We currently have SpitzLift cranes that we use to lift anthropomorphic test dummies for suiting them up as well as lifting into position for testing.”

U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center

“We needed a lightweight, low profile, lifting device that would be in scale with the footprint of the BAE adapter/holder and the USAF truck. The SpitzLift model we chose met most all of the design parameters.”
